I want to sell a house that I inherited. What happens if a lien is found?
Alana asked:
I inherited a house a few months ago from a relative, that I have been caring for the past 5 years. I am living in the house, but I want to sell it, and move somewhere else. I was wondering if I should pay and get a title search to make sure there is no liens attached or other suprises, or should I wait until I put it up for sale, because I was told the buyer have to get a title search anyway. If one is found, does that stop the sale? I had checked the recorders office and nothing was recorded at the time, but I hear now that liens are recorded in different places. Also , I hear that if liens are there and you want to sell, then money is placed in escrow and lienholder is paid first and you get the rest, Is this true? Help! I m confused here! I have no expereince with buying or selling a house right now. Thanks!
Clarification: I was told by Recorders’ office clerk that liens are sometimes recorded in other places. “Other places can include the county courthouse”. Are you usually notified by the lienholder of any liens being placed on your property. I heard that they have to get a judgment first, whatever that means. Thanks so much!

How exactly do you sell a house, what are the steps?
Lisa J. asked:
How do you sell a house? I’m a first time home buyer(well was, when I was 18), i’ve had my place for a couple years now. When I bought it I had A LOT of help from my family. Now that I want to sell it, (and my family wants for me to hold on to it), which i’ve been itching to leave this place since I got it, needless to say they are not going to help much and want me to do it mostly on my own. What are the steps to putting it up for sale? What would “for sale by owner” entail exactly? If I decide to get a real estate agent….what exactly do I ask them, what should I look for, and what is the step by step process of profiting from my investment, and squaring away the house to another buyer, in the quickest and simplest fashion? Thanks for your input!
